Announcing Erenshor - a "Single Player MMORPG"

Hey folks,I'm the developer of Erenshor. I realize "Single Player MMORPG" is sort of a polarizing declaration, but hear me out:I'm 38 years old, two young kids, a full time job, and I just cant fit MMORPG gameplay into my life anymore and dang do I ever miss it.What I can fit in to my life is a few hours a day of game development, so I'm making my own dream game. A "Single Player MMORPG".The game is populated by your standard MMORPG fare - NPCs, thousands of items, quests, etc. What makes it unique is that it's also populated by "Persistent Simulated Players" - AI driven players that level up and gain new gear on their own (whether you're online or not), who will group with you, who will invite you to raids, and who will also do all of those things with eachother."Isn't that just an uh... RPG?" Sure... kind of. It plays and feels JUST like an MMORPG. The SimPlayers are doing their own thing, and sometimes that'll get in your way, sometimes it will benefit you. We've been written up on a few MMORPG websites, and that means you have to believe me!The goal? Grow as a 'server' by grinding it out MMORPG style, by helping the SimPlayers gear up, level up, (or wait til they do it themselves), and challenge the end game bosses of Erenshor. If you have to log off in the middle of a raid because your newborn wakes up? No big deal. The SimPlayers won't hold it against you. This is my dream game. I've been working on it for nearly a year now. The demo will be featured in Steam NEXT fest on October 9th. Until then, You can check it out on Steam, and please join our discord if you want to learn more! via /r/Games https://ift.tt/YgIPv2Z
